I found out something more about my problem, maybe you can help and maybe it can be helpful for the mailing list as well.
If I compile including transiesta features ($make transiesta), I get the error "MINVEC: BASIS VECTORS ARE LINEARLY DEPENDENT" in the tests. If I compile not including transiesta ($make siesta), the tests are running correctly. Going a little bit deeper in the problem, transiesta test is running but failing, the calculation of the scattering region differs significantly. Practically, I get errors only relating to TRANSIESTA, and I'm wondering if someone encountered a similar issue. I'm also wondering that the transiesta-enabled compilation can affect calculations without transport.
